Foglights?
-> 206 Problems

This might sound like a really stupid question Embarassed , but how do you change the bulbs? Do you have to take the whole bumper off or do the lights just pop out?! As you can tell, I'm not very hands on with my car Confused

Go in from your wheel arch, there's a little flap you open and you can see it. It's in a housing with a 'lid' on it that you twist and then you have access to the bulb! easy!

You can unscrew the arch liner and there's a 10mm (i think) bolt that holds the fog light in, undo that and unplug it and itll slip out. You then just take the cap off the back and change the bulb.

Then, just do the reverse to put it back in Smile

Not all 206's factory fitted with front fogs have the access flap in the arch liner.

My 03 GLX does have flaps, my mate who had a 04 XSI didnt Laughing

Didn't know that, well if you have the flaps, here's a pic of mine. My flap is unfortunately broken off as when I was changing the bulb a few years ago I opened the flap first, couldn't reach it with the wheel in the way, turned the wheel and ripped the flap right off! Embarassed

Thats the cover you need to rotate to take it off.
